The VR Drop: Explore a New Tomorrow

Welcome to another Friday VR Drop, your regular round-up of the virtual reality (VR) videogames due for release in the coming week. Oculus Quest owners are in for a treat, whether they like powerful narratives, a bit of travel, or have the space for some epic multiplayer battles. Plus, PC VR users get a look in but nothing for PlayStation VR unfortunately.

Space Pirate Trainer DX – I-Illusions

Ok, so normally on the VR Drop we don’t feature updates to videogames but this one is a little different, in fact, it’s a lot different. Space Pirate Trainer was one of the quintessential wave shooters back in 2016 that everyone had to play and it’s still fun now. I-Illusions’ update to Space Pirate Trainer DX takes the title in a bold new direction turning it into a laser tag multiplayer where two players either locally or online can run around a virtual arena. The only caveat, you need an area that’s at least 10m x 10m (32ft x 32ft).
